Firelock update

Organizers of the umbrella organization contacted the participants a
couple of days ago to let us know that the state of Maryland had updated its
black power regulations in 2011 … and they weren’t compatible with the rules of
the umbrella organization. (Yes. They figured this out a week before the
event.) They thought they had a work-around, but concluded yesterday that there
was no way a compromise could be reached, mostly because one group says
aluminum foil cartridges are mandatory for live rounds, and the other group
forbids aluminum foil cartridges for live rounds.

So, of course, I put 10 shots on paper at 10 yards today that looked
like this:

10 rounds on paper. See the one in the middle? Second from the left? Two rounds in that hole.
